CΗAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter discusses the background of the study¸ the reason for
choosing the topic¸ the limitation of the study¸ the problem of the study¸ the aim
of the study¸ the use of the study¸ the clarification of the key terms¸ and the
organization of the study.
A. The Background of the Study
In daily life¸ human beings need to communicate with another
whenever and wherever they meet. So¸ language as a means of
communication plays an important role. Every body needs language to express
idea and to interact with other people. English is mostly used in social¸
cultural¸ economic¸ educational¸ scientific and technological aspects of life. In
brief¸ English plays an important role in the modern world. In Indonesia¸
English is the first foreign language which is taught from elementary school
till university level.
In learning English, learners have to learn four language skills and four
language components. The four skills are listening, speaking, reading and
writing. Learners cannot learn the skills in isolation. It means the four skills
have to be learned integratedly. The evident can be found in daily English
teaching, which only pays much attention to teaching reading, grammar, and
vocabulary to anticipate the final written test. Although the final English exam
2
measure the speaking skill, the result of the exam does not reflect the speaking
ability of the students. The absence of the oral exam in the final examination
can be the cause of ignoring the teaching of speaking.
Communicate language teaching is based on the way children learn
their first language. In the classroom, the teacher sets a different tasks and
activities to encourage the students to communicate in English. For example,
they exchange information, discuss, and solve problems in pairs or groups
(Baker and Westrup, 2000: 5).
Nowadays, English teaching-learning processes of junior high school
applies genre-based approach (Luardini, 2014: 80). This approach requires
students to learn based on texts-oriented. The texts are classified into two
kinds of text based on Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture
No. 68 of 2013 on the basis of the framework and structure of the curriculum
of junior high school. The first one is genre texts. They are narrative texts,
recount texts, descriptive texts, report texts, and procedure texts. The next one
is functional texts. They are cautions. notices, warnings, greeting cards, letters,
labels, short messages, advertisements. announcements, and invitations.
Based on the regulation of the minister of education and culture No. 68
of 2013 the basis of the framework and structure the curriculum for Junior
High School. English becomes an important subject which is taught to all
junior high school students in Indonesia. Teaching and learning English in
Junior High School is aimed at making the students master the four language
3
taught:-so that at the end of the course, the students will have the ability to
communicate in English.
Learning a foreign language means learning how to communicate in
that target language whether orally or written. Of course, the learning of the
components of the target should support it. The Curriculum stresses on the
language, which is used to express the language skills.
The four language skills, reading, listening, writing, and speaking must
be mastered by the students. In this research, the writer wants to discuss about
teaching speaking.
The function of the language is for communication, so in the teaching
and learning process, the teacher wants to know whether the 9 students can
use the language according to the function. Otherwise, the teacher asks the
students some questions in various context/situation. Beside this, the teacher
needs to know the students' ability and to implicate the concept and practice
the students' skill in pronunciation, vocabulary usage or grammatical
competence.
In various schools, it shows that the expectation of the students or the
teacher haven't fulfilled yet. Only certain students want to use English for
interaction to the teacher. In this case, we understand because we remember
that English is a second language. A large part of the students less dare to use
this language because they are afraid to make mistake, bashful to laugh with
his friend. There is no standard rule of asking the students to use the English
4
plays roles of practicing and guiding the students to use English for
communication. The teacher has a lot of opportunities to communicate with
the students. In this case, the teacher must be able to learn about the behavior
and the activities of the students. After that the teacher will know about their
characteristics, interest and their problems.
Based on the reason above, the writer held the case study. Case study
means a research study for investigating a phenomenon. In this study the
phenomenon is the process of teaching and learning speaking of the seventh
year students of MTs Al-Hamidah Kuwu Kradenan Grobogan in academic
year 2014/2015. So, the researcher can know the problems and gives some
contribution on teaching and learning speaking in the class and hopes the
teaching and learning speaking of the seventh year students of MTs
Al-Hamidah Kuwu Kradenan Grobogan in academic year 2014/2015 can be
successful and help the students to solve the problem especially the problem in
learning on reading in the future.

conduction a research of case study on teaching and learning speaking in MTs
Al-Hamidah Kuwu herefore, this research is entitled "A Case Study on
Teaching and Learning Speaking of the seventh Year Students of MTs

detailed examination of a single example of a class of phenomena, a case
study cannot provide reliable information abort the broader class, but it
may be useful in the preliminary stages of an investigation since it
provides hypotheses, which may be tested systematically with a larger
number of cases. According to Creswell (2009: 7) data collection in a case
